Ulan Orphanage


As our relationships grow so does the time we spend with orphans. One of the local Orphanages "ULAN" has nearly 170 children ages from 4-17 who are primarily Kazakh speakers. We go weekly on Thursdays. In the mornings we visit the little children. They love the set of Hot Wheels we bring, puzzles, coloring and Bingo. You should see how they receive us with shouts of joy and open arms.

In the afternoon we visit the older children. This week we gave out pictures, enjoyed coloring, played Uno, basketball and had other sport balls. It was a beautiful afternoon to enjoy this time with the children.

Before we go they always ask us when we'll be back to visit them. It is our delight and pleasure to visit them in the future.
